1 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
3 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
4 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
6 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
7 files with numbers as names
9 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
11 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
13 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
15 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
17 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
18 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
20 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
22 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
25 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
26 test/report error writing to stdout
28 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
30 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
32 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
33 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
34 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
36 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
37 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
38 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
40 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
42 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
43 character set used by the current locale
45 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
46 message's filename overflows an int when converted
48 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
49 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
51 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
53 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
56 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
58 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
59 from Michael Richardson.
61 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
62 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
64 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
66 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
67 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
69 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
71 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
72 find sub-parts of the specified part
74 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
76 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
77 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
78 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
79 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
80 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
81 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
82 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
85 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
87 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
88 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
89 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
92 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
93 refiling with -src option.
95 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
97 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
99 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
101 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
102 mailpath being overwritten.
104 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
106 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
107 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
108 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
109 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
110 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
111 reinitializes the tmp file string.
113 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
114 if a format string was read from the profile.
116 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
117 path for the external hook.
119 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
121 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
122 another location for ndbm.
124 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
126 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
128 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
130 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
133 136976 - Handle binary content messages
134 143427 - mh-format.man typo
135 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
136 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
137 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
138 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
139 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
140 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
141 181867 - typo for nmh.man
143 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
145 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
146 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
147 contitional code which will result in cached data to
148 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
149 and parse on the first use.
150 * Remove some unused flag bits.
152 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
154 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
155 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
157 #578 - repl leaks umask
158 #1393 - sortm core dumps
159 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
160 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
161 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
163 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
164 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
166 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
168 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
169 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
171 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
173 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
174 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
175 to docs/README.about.
177 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
179 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
181 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
182 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
183 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
184 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
187 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
189 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
190 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
191 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
192 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
193 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
194 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
197 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
198 summary configure prints out.
200 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
201 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
202 subjectively more readable) format.
204 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
206 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
209 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
211 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
212 19xx when it's not necessary.
214 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
216 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
217 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
220 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
221 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
222 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
223 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
224 the man pages correctly.
226 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
228 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
230 * Finished manpages ali-prev
232 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
233 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
234 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
237 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
238 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
239 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
240 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
242 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
244 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
245 the formatting rules I've been using.
249 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
251 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
252 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
253 used in the manpages.
255 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
256 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
257 read in the contents of the file as the variable
260 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
261 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
262 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
263 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
264 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
265 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
266 bold flags and italicized parameters.
268 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
270 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
271 --with-locking option.
273 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
274 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
275 information was not being communicated to the
276 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
277 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
278 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
279 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
280 undefined symbols problems.
282 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
283 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
284 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
285 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
286 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
287 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
288 for a genuine krb4 installation.
290 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
292 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
293 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
295 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
297 * Made a new ./configure option called
298 "--with-locking" that allows the file
299 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
300 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
302 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
303 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
304 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
305 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
306 the user that these are the valid options, and
307 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
310 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
312 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
313 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
314 committed to supporting flex only, since
315 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
316 string, as well as other problems documented
317 below and on nmh-workers.
319 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
320 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
321 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
324 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
325 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
327 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
329 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
330 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
331 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
333 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
335 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
336 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
338 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
340 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
341 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
342 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
343 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
344 couldn't correctly identify them.
346 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
348 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
349 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
350 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
351 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
352 not depending on an external archive.
354 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
355 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
356 mts/generic is no longer built.
358 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
360 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
361 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
362 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
363 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
364 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
365 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
366 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
367 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
369 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
371 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
372 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
375 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
377 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
378 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
379 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
382 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
383 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
384 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
385 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
387 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
388 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
389 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
390 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
391 merged into the smtp code).
393 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
394 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
395 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
398 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
399 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
400 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
401 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
402 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
403 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
404 in the appropriate Makefile.in
406 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
408 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
409 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
410 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
411 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
412 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
413 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
414 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
415 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
416 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
417 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
418 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
420 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
422 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
423 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
424 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
425 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
426 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
427 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
428 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
429 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
430 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
432 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
434 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
435 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
438 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
440 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
441 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
443 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
445 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
446 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
447 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
448 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
450 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
452 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
453 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
454 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
455 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
456 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
458 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
459 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
461 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
463 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
465 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
466 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
467 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
468 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
470 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
471 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
472 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
473 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
475 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
476 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
477 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
478 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
480 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
481 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
482 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
484 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
486 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
487 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
488 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
489 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
490 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
491 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
494 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
495 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
497 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
498 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
500 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
502 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
504 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
506 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
507 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
508 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
509 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
511 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
513 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
514 be easily changed from "," to "#".
516 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
518 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
520 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
521 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
524 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
526 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
527 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
528 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
529 but not for the subsequent data stream.
531 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
533 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
534 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
535 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
536 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
537 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
539 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
541 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
542 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
544 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
545 cat, also define lorder as echo.
547 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
549 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
551 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
552 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
553 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
555 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
557 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
560 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
561 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
563 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
565 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
566 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
568 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
570 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
571 inc does not need to be setgid.
573 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
575 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
576 library, as found on Debian systems.
578 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
580 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
582 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
583 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
584 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
585 case-insensitivity flag.
587 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
589 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
590 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
592 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
594 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
595 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
596 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
597 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
598 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
599 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
600 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
601 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
602 getting moved aside).
604 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
605 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
607 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
609 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
610 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
611 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
612 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
613 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
614 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
615 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
616 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
617 the prototype, but never sets it.
619 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
620 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
621 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
622 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
623 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
624 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
626 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
627 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
628 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
629 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
630 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
632 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
634 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
635 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
638 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
639 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
640 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
641 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
642 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
643 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
644 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
646 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
648 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
650 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
651 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
652 this works on other systems.
654 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
656 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
657 checks for write failures.
659 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
661 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
663 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
666 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
668 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
670 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
672 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
673 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
676 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
678 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
679 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
680 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
681 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
683 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
685 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
686 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
689 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
690 as well as Makefiles.
692 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
694 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
695 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
696 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
697 should make maintainability easier.
699 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
700 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
701 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
702 whatever you know works.
704 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
706 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
707 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
708 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
710 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
711 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
712 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
713 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
715 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
716 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
717 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
719 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
720 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
721 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
722 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
723 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
725 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
726 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
727 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
728 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
729 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
730 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
731 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
732 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
733 from the BSD version.
735 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
736 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
737 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
739 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
742 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
745 This happens on solaris:
748 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
749 No manual entry for mts.conf.
753 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
755 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
756 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
758 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
760 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
761 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
762 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
763 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
764 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
765 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
766 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
767 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
768 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
769 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
770 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
772 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
773 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
774 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
775 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
776 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
777 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
780 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
781 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
782 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
783 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
784 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
786 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
787 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
789 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
791 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
792 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
793 to stdin, such as exmh.
795 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
796 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
797 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
800 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
802 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
803 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
804 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
805 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
806 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
807 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
808 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
810 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
812 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
813 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
815 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
817 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
818 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
820 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
822 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
825 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
826 along with any -host or -user option.
828 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
830 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
832 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
833 process was fresh in my mind.
835 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
837 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
838 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
840 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
842 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
844 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
847 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
848 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
849 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
850 part of the program's name.
852 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
853 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
856 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
858 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
859 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
860 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
861 single-character format would cause programs using this
862 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
863 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
864 when the format string was one character. This eventually
865 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
868 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
870 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
871 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
872 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
873 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
874 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
875 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
877 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
878 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
879 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
880 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
881 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
882 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
883 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
884 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
886 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
887 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
888 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
889 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
890 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
891 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
892 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
893 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
894 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
895 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
897 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
899 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
900 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
902 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
903 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
905 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
910 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
912 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
913 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
914 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
915 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
917 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
918 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
919 problem in the routine.
921 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
923 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
924 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
926 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
927 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
928 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
931 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
933 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
934 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
935 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
936 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
937 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
938 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
939 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
940 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
941 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
942 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
944 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
946 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
947 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
948 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
949 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
950 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
951 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
952 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
953 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
954 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
955 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
956 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
957 interesting than a duplication of the default.
959 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
960 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
961 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
962 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
963 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
965 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
968 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
970 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
971 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
972 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
973 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
976 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
978 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
980 * Applied, after some finessing,
981 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
983 Here's a patch that allows you to add
985 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
987 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
988 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
989 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
990 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
992 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
994 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
995 forgetting to do so!).
997 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
998 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
999 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1000 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1001 arguments to enable all three types.
1003 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1004 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1006 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1007 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1008 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1009 updated copy of mts.conf.
1011 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1013 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1014 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1015 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1017 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1019 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1021 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1022 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1023 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1025 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1026 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1027 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1029 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1030 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1031 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1033 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1035 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1037 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1039 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1041 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1042 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1044 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1045 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1046 certain suffix to run properly.
1048 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1049 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1050 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1052 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1053 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1054 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1055 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1056 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1057 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1058 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1060 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1062 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1063 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1064 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1065 until some year far in the future).
1067 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1069 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1071 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1072 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1074 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1075 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1078 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1080 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1081 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1082 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1083 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1084 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1085 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1087 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1089 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1091 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1092 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1093 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1095 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1096 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1097 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1098 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1099 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1100 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1103 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1104 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1105 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1106 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1107 of masquerading individually.
1109 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1110 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1111 GECOS field delimiters.
1113 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1115 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1116 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1117 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1118 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1119 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1120 and explaining the feature.
1122 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1124 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1125 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1128 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1129 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1130 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1132 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1133 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1134 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1135 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1137 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1138 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1139 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1142 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1144 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1145 code to be executed.
1147 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1149 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1151 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1152 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1153 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1154 quotes embedded in them.
1156 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1158 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1159 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1160 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1161 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1162 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1163 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1164 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1167 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1168 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1169 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1170 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1171 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1173 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1175 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1177 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1178 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1179 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1180 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1182 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1185 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1187 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1189 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1191 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1192 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1193 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1195 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1198 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1200 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1201 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1202 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1203 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1204 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1205 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1207 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1208 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1210 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1212 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1215 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1217 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1218 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1219 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1222 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1223 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1224 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1225 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1226 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1227 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1228 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1229 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1230 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1231 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1232 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1233 processing that post has).
1235 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1237 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1238 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1239 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1240 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1241 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1242 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1245 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1247 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1249 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1251 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1253 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1254 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1256 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1259 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1261 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1262 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1263 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1266 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1268 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1269 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1270 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1271 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1272 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1273 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1275 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1277 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1279 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1281 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1282 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1283 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1284 caught again. This works for now.
1286 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1288 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1290 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1291 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1293 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1295 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1296 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1298 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1300 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1302 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1304 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1305 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1307 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1309 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1310 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1311 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1312 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1313 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1316 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1318 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1319 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1320 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1322 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1323 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1326 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1328 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1329 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1330 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1332 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1334 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1335 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1337 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1339 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1342 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1343 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1345 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1346 macros, regardless of platform.
1348 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1349 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1351 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1352 with x-conversions=gzip.
1354 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1356 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1359 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1360 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1361 implicit definition of ioctl().
1363 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1364 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1365 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1366 want to mess with them.
1368 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1370 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1371 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1373 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1374 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1376 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1377 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1378 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1380 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1381 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1382 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1384 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1385 function initgroups.
1387 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1390 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1391 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1394 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1395 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1398 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1399 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1403 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1405 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1406 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1407 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1409 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1410 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1412 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1414 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1416 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1417 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1418 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1419 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1421 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1422 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1424 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1426 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1428 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1430 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1431 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1433 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1435 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1436 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1438 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1439 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1440 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1441 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1443 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1444 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1446 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1448 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1449 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1451 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1453 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1454 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1457 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1459 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1461 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1463 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1464 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1466 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1467 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1468 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1470 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1471 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1472 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1474 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1475 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1476 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1478 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1479 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1482 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1483 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1485 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1486 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1488 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1489 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1491 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1492 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1493 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1495 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1496 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1498 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1499 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1500 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1502 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1503 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1506 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1507 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1509 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1510 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1511 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1512 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1514 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1515 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1517 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1521 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1522 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1523 would not be changed.
1525 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1526 one from the Apache web server.
1528 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1529 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1531 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1532 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1533 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1535 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1537 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1539 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1540 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1543 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1544 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1545 removes a bad race condition.
1547 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1550 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1551 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1552 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1554 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1555 sequence information.
1557 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1558 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1560 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1563 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1566 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1568 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1569 interpret 034 as octal.
1571 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1573 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1574 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1576 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1577 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1579 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1580 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1582 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1583 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1585 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1586 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1588 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1589 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1590 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1592 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1593 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1594 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1596 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1598 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1600 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1601 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1604 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1606 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1607 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1609 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1610 header field information.
1612 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1613 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1615 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1616 values when parsing a content.
1618 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1619 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1621 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1622 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1624 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1625 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1627 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1628 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1630 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1632 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1634 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1636 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1638 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1639 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1642 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1643 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1645 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1646 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1647 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1648 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1649 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1650 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1653 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1655 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1656 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1657 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1659 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1660 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1662 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1664 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1665 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1666 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1667 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1669 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1670 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1673 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1674 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1675 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1676 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1679 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1681 * Released nmh-0.27.
1683 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1684 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1686 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1687 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1688 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1689 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1692 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1693 mhbuild returns an error.
1695 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1696 rename the draft file.
1698 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1699 use a global variable.
1701 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1702 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1704 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1705 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1707 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1708 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1709 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1711 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1712 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1714 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1715 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1718 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1719 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1722 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1723 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1725 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1726 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1727 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1729 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1730 to new function output_content_folder.
1732 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1733 new function output_content_file.
1735 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1736 to new function parse_format_string.
1738 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1739 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1740 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1741 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1743 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1744 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1745 message/external file from ftp.
1747 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1748 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1749 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1751 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1752 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1755 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1758 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1759 new file mhstoresbr.c
1761 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1764 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1765 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1767 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1768 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1770 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1771 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1772 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1774 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1776 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1778 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1779 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1782 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1783 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1785 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1788 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1790 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1792 * Released nmh-0.26.
1794 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1795 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1796 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1797 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1799 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1800 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1801 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1802 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1803 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1805 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1806 But it is not on by default.
1808 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1809 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1811 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1813 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1815 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1817 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1819 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1820 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1822 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1824 * Released nmh-0.25.
1826 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1827 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1828 uses the original name of the library.
1830 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1831 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1834 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1835 list_content and list_debug.
1837 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1839 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1840 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1842 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1844 * Released nmh-0.24.
1846 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1848 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1849 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1851 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1852 large sequence line.
1854 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1856 * Released nmh-0.23.
1858 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1860 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1861 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1862 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1863 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1865 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1866 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1869 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1871 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1873 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1875 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1876 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1878 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1879 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1881 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1882 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1884 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1885 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1887 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1889 * Released nmh-0.22.
1891 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1892 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1894 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1896 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1897 mh-profile(5) man page.
1899 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1900 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1902 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1904 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1906 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1907 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1909 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1911 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1912 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1913 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1915 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1916 source message on the standard input.
1918 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1920 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1921 rather than -rfc934mode.
1923 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1924 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1927 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1928 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1930 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1933 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1935 * Released nmh-0.21.
1937 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1938 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1940 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1943 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1944 to use for text contents.
1946 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1948 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1950 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1952 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1954 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1955 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1957 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1958 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1959 spaces between encoded word are.
1961 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1963 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1964 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1966 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1967 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1968 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1970 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1972 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1973 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1975 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1977 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1979 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1980 ISO-8859-X character set.
1982 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1985 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1986 permissions, not write permissions.
1988 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1989 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1991 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1994 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1996 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1998 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1999 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2001 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2002 message contains valid character set.
2004 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2005 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2007 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2008 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2010 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2011 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2012 between an encoded word and normal text.
2014 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2015 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2017 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2018 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2020 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2023 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2024 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2027 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2028 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2030 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2031 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2033 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2035 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2037 * Released nmh-0.20.
2039 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2041 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2043 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2044 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2045 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2047 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2048 and the To: line was missing.
2050 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2052 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2054 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2056 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2057 watch the POP transaction.
2059 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2060 first, and use it if available.
2062 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2063 first, and use it if available.
2065 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2067 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2069 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2070 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2071 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2074 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2075 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2076 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2078 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2079 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2082 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2084 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2085 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2087 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2089 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2090 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2092 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2093 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2094 message to which you are replying.
2096 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2097 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2098 making group replies.
2100 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2102 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2104 * Released nmh-0.19.
2106 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2107 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2109 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2110 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2111 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2112 to the end of the man page.
2114 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2115 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2116 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2117 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2118 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2119 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2121 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2124 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2125 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2126 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2128 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2129 the next available number above the message number you wish
2132 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2133 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2135 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2136 file sbr/seq_print.c
2138 * flist will now update the current folder.
2140 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2141 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2142 but now undocumented.
2144 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2147 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2148 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2150 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2152 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2153 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2155 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2157 * Released nmh-0.18.
2159 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2160 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2161 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2163 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2164 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2166 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2167 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2168 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2169 previous public/private status.
2171 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2174 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2177 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2178 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2179 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2181 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2182 take option to determine whether it should get current
2183 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2184 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2186 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2188 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2189 wait for stopped processes.
2191 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2192 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2194 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2196 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2198 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2199 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2201 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2202 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2204 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2205 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2206 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2207 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2209 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2212 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2215 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2217 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2218 the debugging output.
2220 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2221 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2223 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2225 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2227 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2228 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2230 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2232 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2233 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2234 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2235 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2236 in the given sequence.
2238 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2239 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2240 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2241 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2242 subdirectories of a given directory.
2244 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2245 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2246 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2248 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2249 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2251 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2253 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2256 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2257 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2258 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2260 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2261 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2262 are calculated at runtime.
2264 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2274 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2275 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2276 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2278 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2279 adding message to folder itself.
2281 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2282 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2283 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2286 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2287 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2290 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2291 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2292 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2294 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2295 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2297 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2298 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2299 code to use it yet).

2349 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2351 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2352 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".

2357 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2358 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2360 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2361 number of refiled message.
2363 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2365 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2366 for return value of wait().

2376 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2378 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2379 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2380 deal with binary messages, yet).
2382 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2384 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2386 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2387 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2388 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2389 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2390 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2391 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2393 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2394 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2396 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2397 From MH-6.8.4 patch.

2408 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2411 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2414 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2416 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2417 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2418 which used unsigned chars by default.

2422 * Released nmh-0.15.
2424 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2429 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2431 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2434 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2435 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2436 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2438 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2439 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2441 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2443 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2444 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2446 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2447 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2448 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2449 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2451 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2452 and put in own subroutine.
2454 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2455 and put in own subroutine.

2458 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2459 refile.c to use new routine.
2461 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2463 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2465 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2468 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2469 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2470 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2472 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2475 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2476 adding message to sequence.

2487 all selected messages from a sequence.
2489 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2490 selected messages to a sequence.
2492 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2495 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2497 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2498 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2500 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2502 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2521 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2522 environment variable.
2524 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2525 draft folder facility in nmh.
2527 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2539 * Released nmh-0.13.
2541 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2542 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2543 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2544 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2547 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2548 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2550 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2552 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2553 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2555 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2557 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2582 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2583 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2585 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2586 will suppress the display of the message header.
2588 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2590 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2591 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2593 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2595 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2597 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2599 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2600 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2602 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2603 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2605 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2607 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2609 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2610 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2612 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2613 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2615 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2617 * Released nmh-0.10.

2624 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2626 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2627 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2629 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2630 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2632 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2633 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2635 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2637 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2638 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2640 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2642 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2643 of missing tabs in regex.

2665 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2667 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2668 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2670 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2672 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2673 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2675 * Released nmh-0.08.
2677 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2678 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2679 locking database itself.

2683 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2685 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2686 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2689 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2690 rather than mmdf format.
2692 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2693 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2694 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2695 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2697 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2699 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2701 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2704 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2705 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2706 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2708 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2709 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2710 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2712 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2714 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2715 can still easily change this in config.h).
2717 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2718 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2719 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2721 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2723 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2735 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2737 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2738 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2740 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2741 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2744 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2745 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2747 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2748 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2750 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2752 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2754 * Added configure check for tzset.

2758 * Released nmh-0.06.
2760 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2761 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2763 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2764 many such machines around anymore.
2766 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2767 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2769 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2770 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2772 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2774 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2775 pre-generated version if necessary.
2777 * Released nmh-0.05.
2779 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2780 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2781 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2782 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2784 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2785 be linked in one pass.
2787 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2789 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2790 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2792 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2794 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2796 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2798 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2799 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2800 become the current folder.
2802 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2804 * Released nmh-0.04.
2806 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2809 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2811 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2812 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2813 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2815 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2817 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2818 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2820 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2822 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2823 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2826 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2827 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2829 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2831 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2832 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2833 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2834 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2835 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2836 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2838 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2840 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2841 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2843 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2844 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2846 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2848 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2849 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2851 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2853 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2854 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2855 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2857 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2859 * Released nmh-0.03.
2861 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2862 .mh_sequence file existed.
2864 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2865 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2867 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2868 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2871 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2873 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2876 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2878 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2879 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2880 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2882 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2884 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2885 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2886 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2888 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2890 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2891 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2893 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2895 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2897 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2898 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2899 directory from where the source code is located.
2901 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2903 * Released nmh-0.02.
2905 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2910 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2912 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2913 and sys_nerr directly.
2915 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2917 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.

2921 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2923 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2924 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2925 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2926 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2927 rather than in script.
2929 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2931 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2933 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2934 macro defined on Solaris.
2936 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2938 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2939 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2941 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2942 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2943 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2944 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2947 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2949 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2950 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2952 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2955 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2957 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2959 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2960 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2962 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2964 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2965 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2967 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2969 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2970 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2971 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2972 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2973 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2974 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2976 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2978 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2980 * Released nmh-0.01.
2982 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2983 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2984 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2987 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2989 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2992 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2994 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2995 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2997 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2999 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3000 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3001 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3002 script to find_program.
3004 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3006 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3007 speed up -recurse option.
3009 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3010 yet, but it compiles :-)
3012 * Changed default location for install to
3013 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3014 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3015 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3018 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3019 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3020 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
